Work for idle hands

I used to knit a lot of socks, but latterly have diversified to other things, rabbits, bears and the odd cat!  I've now found a new supplier of the 6 ply German sock wool I like to use and am really enjoying seeing how the different colours knit up.  

From the beginning of March the craft shop is open full days, 6 days a week, so hopefully I'll have enough ready to put in by then!  This year there are going to be 141,000 cruise liner passengers stopping off in Orkney.  We were really busy last year when there were 95,000, so goodness knows what it will be like this year!
